Work closely with Project Managers and Site Managers to maximise project performance
Build long-term relationships with clients, consultants and supply chain partners
Mentor and develop Quantity Surveyors and commercial staff as the department grows
Assist the Directors with commercial strategy, business planning and continuous improvement
